About
Port Soif Bay is a horseshoe-shaped sandy beach on Guernsey's west coast in Castel, also known as Horseshoe Bay. It features fine white sand, rock pools, and sheltered sand dunes. Water quality is rated excellent (Marine Conservation Society recommended). Swimming is good at high tide with calm waters; strong currents mean close supervision of children is required. There are no lifeguards. Free parking for around 200 cars, public toilets, and a seasonal café kiosk are on site. Dogs are prohibited from May to September. —
